Alguns anos atrás, o Chicago Music Exchange traçou o legado de riffs de guitarra em um vídeo de Alex Chadwick tocando 100 riffs clássicos em uma única tomada. Apesar dos riffs de guitarra serem mais chamativos e provavelmente a primeira lembrança na cabeça dos fãs, eles não são os únicos que deixaram sua marca na história da música.
A CME está de volta com o 100 Bass Riffs – uma breve história do groove no baixo e bateria para homenagear aqueles que mantém o ritmo, apresentando os 100 riffs de baixo mais famosos da história da música, desde 1955 à 2013, acompanhados de batidas do tambor, novamente em apenas um take.
Aqui, o baixista Marc Najjar do CME e o baterista Nate Bauman da Reverb.com tocam uma jam session que atravessa a história do rock ‘n’ roll. São 17 minutos sem parar de clássicos do Beach Boys, Led Zeppelin, Bob Marley, Pink Floyd, Stevie Wonder, The Clash, Joy Division, Nirvana, Weezer, Daft Punk, Tame Impala, entre muitos outros.
